When I was a little kid, no one told me that there were jobs available that you got to travel the world and write about the things you experienced and saw for other people to check out. I would have been the only elementary school kid who knew without a doubt that he wanted to be a taking a trip reporter. A highlight of my journeys has actually been collecting a bowl or two at each location I've gone to.
I guess it started since my daddy was a professional potter and so he was always at the wheel tossing pots and bowls and other things. I like every kind of pottery he made, however absolutely nothing could thrill me as much as a great bowl.
When I began traveling it was just natural that I would collect a bowl or two in each place I saw. Since I knew they were something that I liked and that I could put to excellent usage every day, I desired to gather bowls. I dislike getting souveniers that I can not put to excellent use. When I landed in England, the very first nation I visited, I was impressed by how many bowls there were to pick from. I knew it was going to be harder than I believed to narrow things down to no greater than 2 bowls per country.
I now have almost sixty bowls from all around the world. I have bowls from every continent. Some were made in front of me by a regional potter, others I bought from large warehouses that sold bowls at discount. I have two big racks in my house where bowl after bowl sits waiting for use. I am continuously turning the bowls I utilize for cereal and salads and other things.
I recommend that you choose an excellent souvenier idea ahead of time if you are about to venture out into the world for taking a trip. For me, buying a bowl or more has actually worked. If it might work for Sauce Serving Bowls you too, see.
